All of life's problems are simple when suicide is your backup plan.

Boycott is a valid response no matter how much you try to make false analogies. Pulling app out of app store is by no means equivalent to suicide. At most you change your business.

Right, like Uber, Snapchat, Facebook, Clash of Clans, Pinterest, Whatsapp, Instagram, Twitter, Waze, Shazam, Tinder, Match, YouTube, and basically every other app out there pulling out of the App Store would not be suicide.

"At most", those companies would just have to "change their businesses".

If all those companies did pull out, then it would be the end of Apple.

Absolutely not. Apple was fine long before these companies came into existence, and Apple will long outlast these companies. New companies would come in to fill the spaces these companies will have left in days.

I am definitely stealing that
